Ahhh, the ocean. So calm. So relaxing. So ABOUT TO BE EATEN BY ENORMOUS WHALES AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!

Watch a 10-Year-Old Beat an International Chess Master
This could be an advertisement for 7Up, if it weren't more than four minutes long. Here is International Master Greg Shahade playing a quick pick-up blitz game of chess against a 10-year-old ... who wins in no time.

Cop Caught Pepper Spraying Terrifying Baby Squirrel
Sure, baby squirrels are a little weird looking, but so's our cousin Jon, and we don't go around pepper spraying him anytime he approaches a bunch of middle schoolers. (Wait, that sounds weird. You get what we mean....)
